SYNOPSIS
The film takes place presumably in the late 18th century. In the film's prologue, an enchantress
disguised as an old beggar woman offers a selfish young prince a rose in exchange for a night's shelter
from the extreme cold, as a test of his heart and emotion. When he turns her away, repulsed by her old
and ugly appearance and sneering at the simple but lovely gift, she turns into an Enchantress and
punishes him by transforming him into an ugly beast and turns his servants into furniture and other
household items. She gives him a magic mirror that will enable him to view faraway events, and also
gives him the rose, which will bloom until his 21st birthday. He must love and be loved in return
before all the rose's petals have fallen off, or he will remain a beast forever.

10 Years later, a beautiful but unusual young woman named Belle lives in a nearby French village with
her father Maurice, who is an inventor. Belle loves reading and yearns for a life beyond the village.
She is also the object of frequent unwanted attention and lust from the arrogant local hero,Gaston, who
wants to marry her and make her his "little wife" who will bear him handsome sons, cook the food and
scrub the floors. Maurice's latest invention is a wood-chopping machine. When he rides off to display
the machine at the fair, he loses his way in the woods and stumbles upon the Beast's castle, where he
meets the transformed servants Lumire (who was turned into a candleabra), Cogsworth (who was
turned into a mantleclock), Mrs. Potts (who was turned into a teapot), her son Chip (who was turned
into a teacup), and Fifi (who was turned into a feather duster). After getting used to seeing talking
objects, the servants warm him by the fire. The Beast imprisons Maurice, but Belle is led back to the
castle by Maurice's horse, Philippe, and offers to take her father's place. When the Beast agrees to this
and sends him home, Maurice tells Gaston and the other villagers what happened, but they think he
has lost his mind, so he goes to rescue her alone but gets lost on his way.

Meanwhile, Belle refuses the Beast's "invitation" to dinner, and the Beast orders his servants not to let
her eat, but Lumiere serves her dinner anyway and Cogsworth gives her a tour of the castle. However,
she wanders off on her own and finds the West Wing, which the Beast had forbidden her to go into.
She goes in anyway, discovering many broken items, including a shredded portrait of a young prince
and the enchanted rose. Before she can touch it, the Beast sees her and angrily screams at her to get
out.

Frightened, Belle tries to escape, but she and Philippe are attacked by wolves. Suddenly, the Beast
miraculously arrives to her rescue and fends off the wolves, showing that he may have some feelings
towards her. After Belle nurses his wounds, he gives her the castle library as a gift, and they become
friends. Later, they have an elegant dinner and a romantic ballroom dance. When he lets her use the
Enchanted Mirror, she sees her father dying in the woods, and with only hours left before the rose
wilts, the Beast allows her to leave, giving her the mirror to remember him by. This horrifies the
servants, who fear they will never be humans again.
Belle finds Maurice and takes him home, but Gaston arrives with a lynch mob. Unless she agrees to
marry Gaston, the manager of the local madhouse will lock her father up. Belle proves Maurice sane
by showing them the beast with the magic mirror, but Gaston arouses the mob's anger against the
Beast and leads them to the castle to kill him. He locks Belle and Maurice in a basement, but Chip,
who hid himself in Belle's luggage, chops the basement door apart with Maurice's machine.

While the servants and the mob battle for control of the castle, Gaston wanders off by himself and,
finding the Beast, attacks him. The Beast is initially too depressed to fight back, but regains his will
when he sees Belle arriving at the castle. After winning a heated battle, the Beast spares Gaston's life
and climbs up to a balcony where Belle is waiting. Unknown to them, Gaston has secretly followed
the Beast and stabs him from behind, but loses his footing and falls off the balcony to his death.

As the Beast lies on the ground, apparently dead from his injuries, Belle sadly whispers that she loves
him, just as the final petal from the rose falls off, breaking the spell. Belle watches in amazement as
The Beast is revived and turned back into a human. Belle studies him carefully, recognizing him as the
man from the portrait in the West Wing, and seeing that he still has the same eyes, she says "It is you!"
The two kiss, turning the servants human and transforming the castle back into its original elegance.
The last scene shows Belle and the prince dancing in the ballroom as her father and the servants
happily watch them, while Lumiere and Cogsworth enter a feud.
